Exactly, Frosty. If infrasound is a health problem, and who can doubt that is a possibility, let its deleterious effects be examined in every situation. The focus on wind power alone, and the ignoring of all the other, profitable, sources of infrasound gives the anti-wind power hypocrites' game away. This is an attack on renewable energy by the hard Right who totally dominate our failing, greed-driven, economy (for the Right there is no society as their Goddess Thatcher told them). The Right have in recent years, here, in the USA, Canada, and UK (the usual suspects of Anglosphere Rightwing fanaticism) declared war on environmentalism, Green parties and the 'water-melon' environmentalists. Wind power is attacked for one reason above all- it represents resistance to total Rightwing dominance over the state and the prerogative of the rich to seek profit maximisation even if it produces the greatest ecological catastrophe in our history.
